RAILWAY CAMP LIFE.

MOTIFS FROM A FORT WORTH AND RIO
GRANpE GANG,
CAMP SCULLN, Ten, sept. II, 1851.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
The Fort Worth and Rio Grande Rail
way from this place to Rock Creek, dis
lance Of twelve miles, is about surfaced
and finished up with fine rock ballast,
and us soon as the bridge is completed,
the surfacing gang will proceed toward
GrGnbury. a force Of thirty men are at
work with q construction train under the
supervision of Mike Hughes, assisted by
Engineer Rely and Pennsylvania Dave
and T. 2. Churley as brakeman
while the untir;ng Jennie Kennedy keeps
the men supplied with fresh water. Mr..
WeatherIee, late of Fort Worth, has
charge of the camp train and his table is
always supplied with the best the mar
ket affords, and the culinary department,
under the immediate supervision of bis
estimable lady, is just the place for g
hur CRY sumbo snipe TO satiate. his appe-
tite, Mr.. Dave Meagher is the officer in
the work along the line and we
congratulate the company upon securing
his services and no better selection could
have been made, he being an old railroad
man and fully adapted to the work. The
far renowned joe Scully OF railroad fame
is acting as superintendent Of constTuc
ton aud will spare neither pains not
money 70 make the road compare with
the best in the state. Captain
B. 3. Paddock as president enc
peymaster is certainly the right
man in the right place, and will be greeteJ
by the men with hearty welcome on the
10Th, when he comes to call the genera.
roll and pay for services rendered in the
month Of August. This company is pGr-
tlcularly noted for their prompt adjust
ment of sll Claims for labor or damsgt
done to stock, or otherwise. The
Western Unions telegraph supplies have
arrived in camp, and q force O
twelve men will begin tomorrow tC
put up the line from ScullyviIlt
to Granbury, in hood county. Severa
young couples from the city in buggie'
and some from the surrounding neighbor
hood visited the camp to- day, no doub
to see how the railroad men observed tn,
LORDS day. While We had no preache
the time WAS spent in reading and sing
ing. The visitors expressed themselve
to the writer as being highly entertained
by the fine vocal music. Come again
young folks, and don't forget to bring
few copies of THE GAZETTE, as tina
comes next to religious literature, an,
we have poor chance to obtain reading
matter. SNIPR.
